Hilux 4x4 Forum

I would say go with proper brand fuses. If not for quick thinking from my side I also would have had a burnt out vehicle due to a 10A fuse that did not pop but rather roasted a 6mm wire. I'm referring to blade fuses. Bought mine from a car shop in a small "fishing tackle" box with the smal...

As Chris stated when driving through the veld pieces of grass and twigs collect in all crevasses underneath the car. This includes the space around the exhaust. So you often have to stop and clear these out especially the ones around the exhaust. The stuff that accumulates makes for awesome kindling...

They've been milking it from the start and now that they are loosing revenue they are crying.

What I don't understand is they complain but we are still using them. We're still using data to use these apps but now their profit margin has sunk drastically as there are much more competition.

A general problem is that people don't realize how hot the catalytic convert get while driving. They then park in some long dry grass which then ignite after a little while.

Nice article...

But the cars have airconditioning....

Moet sê dit is baie snaaks want al die jare wat ek by Santam was het hulle baie vinnig my claims uit gesort... maar by gesê ek het deur makelaars gewerk.

We had record high temperatures here in the last week so maybe the same is happening with El Nino enol.

nog twee dae wat enige iets kan gebeur.. Poulter is ook nog daar

Dagse. Ek sou begin deur al die grond konneksies skoon te maak en weer vas te maak. Bo-op dit sou ek ook die battery toets om te kyk of hy nie dalk oppad uit is nie want hy kan ook veroorsaak dat die alarm begin skree as die spanning te laag daal.

Is it not perhaps an aftermarket switch for your diff lock?

Pieter... jy moet daai kas deur oop maak voor jy die tools insit... hehe

Jis... ek wonder hoeveel gate hy in daai sitplek geknyp het....

Unfortunately the reality of normally aspirate engines vs turbos

Don't know what Geniel is up to but seems like he is constantly loosing time....

Well done Poulter and Howie. They have now overtaken Geniel and Dirk on the current standings. They are 5th and Geniel and Dirk in 6th.

Gee whiz... That's a lot of mud for a dessert race

I believe it's between Geniel and Loeb this year. Loeb I would reckon would take most of the rally type stages but when it comes to the rest I think Geniel will have the upperhand

The lesser quality cameras is also more susceptible to light conditions. If it's a cloudy day they tend to fair better (the clouds act as a defuser for the sunlight) and you get fairly good quality images. When the sun is out you sometimes get over exposed areas especially if you have lots of contra...

For home use I would go with a mid range DVR and analog cameras use cat 5 with baluns so you can see what is going on as for the recording you can see what happened but cant do much with it .Easy to maintain and cheep. therein lies the big question - WHY do "you" want a camera ? NO use ge...

It was the prologue and the real race starts tomorrow. Here is some pics from Geniel's twitter account: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXo5gOaWAAAuGyE.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXplbIFWYAAX8M-.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXqX-6MWQAEsysd.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXvOThEW8AE5LE9.jpg 8th ...

Just keep in mind that if you use a PTZ camera it can only see a sections at a time whereas 3 cameras can check three sections at a time as well as recording it.

You will also probably be able to buy 3 descent fixed cameras for the same price as a PTZ.

Andy you can do this with any of the above type systems. The PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras are just really expensive. And with you thinking along these lines I'm sure the quality of the images is quite important to you. So I think the only descent version for you to go for would be NVR system.

PS: With DVR system cameras you work with TVL as the quality indicator and the best (where you can actually see a difference is 720 TVL)

With NVR cameras you work with Mega Pixels

Digital Video Recorder (Analog) & Network Video Recorder (Digital). Hikvision is one of the better brands out there. They have protection against incorrect polarity etc. If you go with Digital (NVR) try and get 3 mega pixel cameras instead of 1.3 mp. They are more pricey but the quality is super...

If you have the funds.. head for digital and NVR. Much better quality video etc.

Analog is cheap and alright quality. You will be able to see if someone / something is there but not to much detail unless they get right up to the camera

Mike... it could be that the system has been overfilled as well. As Chris said as the temp rises the pressure builds and builds. I though I was clever on my wives vehicle. The AC worked fine but I though it wasn't cold enough. I then bought one of these cans one can fill the AC one self and followed...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I Like

It sounds like the switch has it's own internal light to indicate if it's in the on or off position.

In my mind ideally you would want to switch the power that activates the relay which will be the smaller current.

My guess would be that you are grounding the H$ bulb when you switch the switch off. Keep in mind that the Toyota system uses a floating earth so it actually moves the earth to either the high beam or low beam and I think you have now bypassed this system by "short circuiting" the high bea...

Very nice... how did you know that's exactly what you wanted?

I personally like Win8.1 and now prefer it above Win7. It takes a while to get used to. But there is no way I will be going to Windows10

If you are running Win8.1 and want to get rid of the Win10 offer popping up, just unintall hotfix (KB3035583)

They tend to be service now and then but I would not say they are problematic. It's a combination of velt and rubbers seals at the back of the birfield. See this write up on how to service the brifield http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/simon/overhau ... /index.php

Looks like a lot of fun was had. I was just around the corner from you guys at Sondela and on Friday this was the reading on the cars thermometer:

Welcome Graeme. Jy sal sien we gooi sommer the two tale deurmekaar without any issues of probleme.

Ons het ander members hier ook wat na die DarkSide toe gegaan het maar hulle, net soos jy, bly welkom

Thanks Cassie, that was a very reasonable price even if it was 3 years ago. IIRC the dealers asked that kind of money for just the seal kit alone. Rudi, just go to your local hardware store and get a geyser element spanner (socket - should be somewhere in the region of R90). It works perfectly. :wi...

Yep, if you need to pull it apart, pull it apart totally and do it all in one go. Cassie, if we may ask, what did the complete kit cost? IT was something like R1200 or so but this was 3 years ago IIRC You will hear the wheel bearings if they are on the way out. If they are not noisy but just have s...

You will hear the wheel bearings if they are on the way out. If they are not noisy but just have some play, then all you have to do is to take up the play by nipping up the nut on the stub-axle, just enough to the point where you can feel that the wheel is starting to turn less freely. Agreed. And ...
